Blog Entry 92 of 92 Charmaine in the city

I've called the Denver area home for more than two
decades now. But this urban/mountain city is still full of surprises. I'll be posting my adventures here, as I explore local eateries, shops and sharing birthday and vacation photos. And once in a while, I'll throw in a music, movie or food review. I hope to keep this blog interactive, so don't be shy to suggest places I should visit. And check it out: I'm on Brendan's List. Rock on!


My boyfriend's in a band
Contributed by: Charmaine Robledo/YourHub.com   on 4/16/2008

I'm feeling a little tired today because I just saw a late show for my boyfriend's band Sh*twolf last night at Larimer Lounge. It was awesome!

Their show was at 11 p.m., but we still had a decent crowd (of about 10 or so) for a midweek concert. The venue itself was pretty interesting. I imagined Larimer Lounge to be closer in size to the Fillmore, but it was actually more like Hi-Dive. It was a good and intimate setting for their first show.

Damon plays drums for the band and before last night, I really hadn't seen him play. I couldn't take my eyes off him! And I'm not just saying this because I am his girlfriend, but he is a talented musician. It was an instrumental show since they're still searching for a singer. So the four of them -- two guitarists, a bassist and Damon -- rocked out to the crowd. The guitarists are Pat and Cliff and the bassist is Abe.

Oh, curious about the name? Yeah, my first reaction when Damon told me was, "What?" and then "Really?" It's actually from an episode of Trailer Park Boys called "Never Cry Sh*twolf," which also happens to be one of the band's songs. Truth be told, there's a German artist and another group on MySpace with the same moniker. Fascinating.

They have a good lineup of shows over the next two months and yes, lucky for Damon, his girl will put in a plug for them: May 3 at 12 Volt Tavern in Arvada, May 26 at Larimer Lounge again for their Memorial Day barbecue and June 4 at Herman's Hideaway.

I would include the band's Web site or MySpace page, but the name doesn't really allow me to. So, you can Google it for more information.
